so hard, friend, we deeply sympathize with
Elwood Miller, son of Dr. R. Allison Miller,
slipt on the Academy steps, in this place, a
week or so ago, and sprained his ankle very
sererly.
The new Council have all the authority ne

last week. In a short time there will he no
necessity for more than one week of Court.
What a saving to tax-payers I
A caboose ear, attached to a train, passed
through this place, on Tuesday of last week ,
on fire. The flemes and smoke were issuing
from the windows at a fearful rate.
Since the first of January over $4,000 have
been taken out of the County Treasury on
Poor House orders. It will take $16,000 to
support the Poor House for 1873 at this rate.
On the scorning of the 17th inst., the ground
11,13 covered with snow at this point. Nine
teen years ago, to a day, we sleighed sixteen
miles—from Ebensburg to Wilmore and re

We saw a landlord, one afternoon last week,
breaking stones on the street. He wanted to

to hard work. None of that, now ! It's all
stuff
Speer, we suspect, has put a report in cir
culation that a new Democratic paper is to be
started. Bosh ! That report is intended to
scare the Monitor. We hope it won't scare
worth a cent.
The Times says it was "Chopparts" and not
"Clopparts operation" that did the business
for Pierce. Well, we surely thought it was
the latter, because if it had been the former,
the patient ought to have recovered.
The attention of Prof. J. P. Wickersham is
called to the manner in which the Camille
Soldiers Orphan School is conducted. Peo
ple on the opposite side of the mountain from
Cassville allege that they see some of the chil
dren daily.
• one of Russell Henry's numerous family of
mules was full of capers on Sunday evening
last. It was fine fun for the boys and excel
lent exercise for the mule, but more than
enough to vex the soul of one more patient
than ',Russ."
A stranger was struck by an engl, ne and had
an arm and leg cut off, on Friday or Saturday
last, at Newton Hamilton, the result of walk
ing on the railway tack. It is said that his
companion refused to help to carry him to a
place of safety lest he might soil his clothes.
The juaiors wore out again the other night.
This time it was Hiss Minnie Burchinell who
did the honors of the occasion. The affair
passed of very pleasantly; no one fell into the
canal and there was nothing lost but a bustle
and that did not amount to much.
A medical gentleman raised a sensation at
the dinner table of one of our popular board
ing houses, one day last week, by stating that
a baby had just been Pound horribly mutilated
near the railroad. It was headless and bad
both arms broken off. It is needless to say
it was a doll.

ing term: John. Potter, Sachem ; T.I. Chilcote,
ten Sag; L. Richter, Jr. Sag; D. E. McMurtrie,

A group of ladies, from an overlooking win
dow, enjoyed the ridiculous scene of seven
chubs of boys, ranging front five to nine years
of age, drawn np in a circle, each taking his
turn at a stump of a cigar. One of the older
boys took a whiff or two more than the reg,-
.tilations permitted, whereupon one of the
youngest raised a smoke that was not in the
bills, and the scene closed in a grand scramble
for the prize. Exit boys.
Mr. Asahet Corbia and Mr. John Silknitter,
of Henderson township, were passing into
town on Satnrday,by the new iron bridge over
Stone Creek; a freight train came up in the
rear and frightened their horse, which made
several leaps and broke the wagon. Mr. Cor
bin jumped ch.t and saved himself, but Silk
nitter was thrown out against the stone com
posing the West abutment of the bridge, and
his skull badly fractured. Ile was carried to
the residence of A. W. Kenyon, Esq., where be
died during the day. He was buried at four
o'clock on Sunday. He leaves no family.
Saturday last was a wretchedly dreary day.
Blue Monday was no comparison to it. The
sun failed to come to time uutil late in the
afternoon, and for a fen• moments how cheer
ful it made us feel, and it was then, just at
this joyous moment that the proprietor of the
Eureka Ice Cream garden sauntered into our
office, with a great pitcher of Ice Cream, cake,
plates, and spoons. The "Blues" were forgot-
ten and the devils went to work with a relish.
It was splendid! He went home empty "you
bet." But if yon call at the garden where you
ought to call, you will find out how the boys
felt when it was all" over.

COURT PROCEEDINGS.—A variation in
! the usual routine of preliminary business last
Monday, was the calling into the jury box of
the constables of this county, elected for the
ensuing year, prior to their qualification by
the clerk, to listen to some instructions and
advice from the Court.
The Court, in a few concise remarks, gave
the constables a clear outline of their respon
sibilities, under the existing liquor law of the
State, which require each constable to make
return, nutter oath oraffirmation, to the Court
of Quarter Sessions,whether within his knowl
edge there is any place within his bailiwick
kept or maintained in violation of the license
law.
It is not necessary, the learned Judge ob
served, that an officer should personally see
any one sell liquor as a beverage, in order to
return him, although a great many constables
have supposed, probably honestly, though
mistakenly, that they must see with their own
eyes a violation of the liquor law. If any
constable has such knowledge WI convinces
him, as a reasonable man, that liquor is sold
at any place in violation of the laws, it is his
duty to return the fact to the Court.
This return is required by law to be faith
fully made, and the Court intimated in unmis
taken terms that the constables of this county
will be held to a strict accountability for this
duty.
The law provides that "If any person shall
make known in writing, with his or her name
subscribed thereto, to sneh constable, the
name or names of any one who shall have vio
lated this act, with the names of witnesses,
who can prove the fact, it shall be his duty to
make return therof on oath or affirmation to
the Court ; and upon his willful failure to do so
he shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor
and upon indictment and conviction shall pay
a fine of $5O, and be subject to imprison
ment, &c."
The Court further remarked that all that is
required of the constables in this respect is the
conscientious discharge of their duty, under
their oaths, during the coming year, and that
care would be taken that in no case shall a
constable be subject to the penalty orpayment
of costs on the failure to convict persons re
turned for violating the liquor law, for want
of sufficient evidence, where he honestly en
deavered to discharge this duty, the perform
ance of which will be strictly required of him.
In the Court of Quarter Sessions, Thomas
Long, who was indicted by three bills for lar
ceny of goods from the cars, pleaded guilty as
to the first indictment, the commonwealth in
view of the fact that imprisonment must fol
low, having entered a not 1 c prosegui as to Nos.
two and three.
The prisoner was sentenced to pay a One of
$5.00 and costs and undergo imprisonment in
the Western Penitentiary for two years and
four months.
Henry Quinn, who had tried to get rid of a
surplus of liquor, which he had obtained be
fore his license run out, pleaded guilty to the
charge of selling it without license and was
sentenced to pay a fine of $75, and costs.
Henry Lindsay, an old cripple, residing in
East Huntingdon, was indicted for receiving
stolen goods. A quantity of goods were found
at his house, which wore proved to have been
left there by the young rascals who abstracted
them from the cars ; but the defendant claimed
that the thieves forced the goods upon him,
that he delivered the goods up before he was
suspected, and brought a number of highly
respectable citizens to establish his previous
good character. He was acquitted.
Mary Cassiday charged with obtaining goods
by false pretenses, from the store of Reichert
rt, Co., on Broad Top, was acquitted and the
prosecutor David S. Conrad sentenced to pay
the costs.
John Wensky, indicted for the larceny of
money from the pocket-book of a bed fellow,
named James Rutherford, was acquitted.
A petition of the citizens of the village of
Warriorsmark, for the incorporation of a bo•
rough, was approved by the grand jury.
TOWNSHIP CLERKS AND SCHOOL DI
RECTORS.—We have already called attention
to the law which requires township clerks to
make and publish full and complete state
ments of the financial condition of their town
ships within sixty days after the annual spring
election. A neglect or failure to comply with
this act subjects the officer to a penalty of
fifty dollars.
In several counties of the state snits have
been brought by tax-payers for disregarding
this law, and in each case the penalty was
imposed and collected. Township clerks may
save expense and litigation by observing this
information.
The law requires similar publicity in the
matter of school accounts. An act passed
two years ago makes it obligatory upon di
rectors to publish annually a statement of the
receipts and expenditures of their respective
school districts. If this law be not complied
with, tax-payers may refuse to settle their
school tax. School boards throughout the
country should bear in mind, and avoid the
perplexity that may otherwise arise.—Ex
change.

THE NEW POSTAL ACT—THE ABOLISH.
ED "FREE MATTER" LlST.—it is important for
the public to know what is included in the law
known ac "the repeal of the franking
privi
lege."
All mail known as ' , free matter" under the
existing laws, on wkieh postage must be paid
after June 30, by reason of this repeal, is class
ed under twelve heads, as follows, viz :
1. All matter from the President and Vice-
President.
2. Official communications to and from Cab
inet and Bureau officers, chief clerk or frank
ing officers of each of the Executive Depart
ments.
3. All letters or printed matter to or from
Members of Congress, Secretary of the Sen
ate or Clerk of the House of Representatives.
4. Petitions to Congress.
5. Copyright matter to Librarian of Con
gress, if so marked on the package.
6. Smithsonian Institute mail.
7. Exchanges between publishers, one copy
of each publication not to exceed sixteen
ounces in weight.
8. Weekly newspapers to actual subscribers
ithin the county where published.
9. Notices from Postmasters of refusals to
Ile publications.
10. Dead letters returned to writers.
11. Medals, certificates of thanks, or other
testimonial awarded by Legislatures to their
soldiers.
12. Under a special act of Congress, passed
some years since, all mail matter to and from
Mary Lincoln, during her natural life.
Those persons having the franking privilege
at present are the President, Vice President,
Senators, Representatives, Delegates, Secreta
ry of Senate, Clerk of House, Cabinet and Bu
reau officers, all their Clerks, Postmasters, for
official communications only, as also Collec
tors of Internal Revenue, and Mrs. Lincoln.
Under the present law free matter is carried
at a' cost of about $1,250,000, while the es
timate made for amounts required to pay ac
tual necessary official postage for the ensuing
fiscal year is about $2,500,000.
The changes in the law will be especially
onerous on the library of Congress and the
Smithsonian Institute,whose advantages in this
respect have never been abused, and were on
ly used in the interest and diffusion of knowl
edge. Another change which will be great
inconvenience, is that relative to returning
"dead letters" to their writers when known.
The English Post Office follows the rules we
have, and collects when the returned letter is
delivered. The only matter can be sent under
the amended law after the 30th of June next,
without prepayment, is newspapers sent ragn
larly. Postage is to he collected quarterly on
them when delivered. Presbnt regulations re
main in effect.
A HANDSOME COMPLIMENT.—The
Beaver County Press, published at New Brigh
ton, Beaver county, pays the following hand
some compliment to R. W. Berkstresser, Esq.,
formerly of Bedford, Pennsylvania, General
Agent for Continental Life Insurance Company,
of Hartford, Connecticut, located at Pitts
burg: "The Continental bits now a deserved
ly high reputation in this vicinity, and has
done during the past three or four years a very
large business in our midst—perhaps the
largest business of any life company represent
ed here. This is largely, if not almost entire
ly due to the energy, address and ability o f
the company's general agent at Pittsburg,
It. W. Berkstresser, Esq., of the firm of Sam
son & Berkstresser, No. 64, Fourth Avenue.
Mr. Berkstresser has given his personal super
vision to the company's interests in this local
ity, and his mode of doing business has had
the effect of securing to the Continental some
of the best risks ever taken by the company,
as well as the large amount which is annually
added to its assets from the policy-holders of
this part of the State. The company has been
very fortunate in securing the services of a
gentleman of such marked qualifications for
the position he fills, and we trust that the
pleasant relations which exist between him
and his numerous friends in this neighbor
hood, may remain long undisturbed.
We make this last remark through sheer
selfishness, for Mr. B. is abundantly qualified
for a higher sphere of usefulness among the
company's officers, and we hope some day to
see his claims to a lucrative position recog
nized."

PENNSYLVANIA It. It. AND KISIIAOO
- VALLEY.—Some one, under date April
the 12th, writes to the editor of Harrisburg
Telegraph thus :
"In your issueof the 9th inst, I see the Penn -
sylvania Central has under consideration to
lay two more tracks the whole length of their
road. Now, I would suggest that the com
pany would find it a great saving of time and
money by changing the rout a little in Mifflin
county by leaving the main railrpnd at Lewis
town and running out on the Mifflin and Cen
tre to Reedsville; and then along the foot of
Jack's mountain, through Kisboquillas valley
into Huntingdon county. At Mill Creek they
would strike the main road agate, not over
twenty-live miles, having no bridging only
across a few small streams. Along the main
road there are five river bridges, a deep cut
at Newton Hamilton and the Narrows. Prom
Mount Union to Mapleton has already cost
more for the two first road beds than it would
cost to grade a road through the valley from
Lewistown to Mill Creek. Although it is
away from their road the citizens of this val
ley would be pleased if the company could be
induced to look at this route before laying the
next two tracks."

LITERARY NOTICES.—The May num
ber of Ilarper's Magazine closes the Forty-sixth
Volume. A glance at the Index of this vol
ume—six monthly numbers—shows that it
contains four hundredengracings, and a limit-
less variety of reading-matter.
In the leading article of the May Number,
Mr. Lyman Abbott gives a very entertaining
description of the various forms of “Life un
der the Ocean Wave," both vegetable and an
imal, with thirty accurate and beautiful en-
gravings.
Mr. Wirt Sikes contributes a sketch of An
toine Wiertz, the eccentric artist of Brussels.
In an exhaustive paper on Vienna, Mr. Mon
cure D. Conway, gives the notable features of
the coming Exposition, and of Viennese
amusements, art-galleries, musical entertain
ments, shops, markets, and superstitions.
A picturesque description of a summer
cruise, in the yacht Rambler, among the
Azores and Canary Islands, will prove very
attractive to many readers.
There are also timely and valuable contri
butions from E. E. House, on "The Present
and Future of Japan,'' and from Eugene Law
rence, on "Geneva a:sd its Bishop."
The unanimous Report of the Congressional
Library Committee on the project for an In
ternational Copyright Law is reprinted in this
number, thus preserving, in a convenientform
for reference, the most comprehensive and
conclusive review of this subject that has ever
been presented.
Mrs. Harriet Prescott Spofford contributes
a short story, "The Beautiful Miss Vavasour,"
a tale of Washington ,Society; and D. R. Cas
tleton gives us another of her characteristic
stories, entitled "Lost." The serial stories by
Charles iteade, Wilkie Colins, and Miss Thack-
eray are continued.
The poetry of the Number is by John G•
Saxe, Ellis Gray, Kate Hil.ard, and Miss 11.
R. Hudson, the latter contributing a poem of
great pathos, "The Newsboy's Debt," beauti•
fully illustrated.
An interesting paper by Dr. Samuel Osgood,
on the ".Esthetics of Social Life," constitutes
the Editor's Easy Chair for May, Mr. Curtis
being unable, on account of illness, to supply
that department. The Editor's Scientific Rr.c
ord furnishes an admirable resume of the
progress of science since the beginning of the
year, occupying four pages. and also gives a
variety of important matter in short articles.
The Editor's Historical Record is this month
confined to the summary of political events,
including an exhaustive analysis of the Re
port of the New York Constitutional Commis
sion. The Editor's Drawer is unusually inter
esting, including another installment of "Onr
London Scrap-book," treating of the Artists'
Quarter, with four illustrations.
The May number of Lippincott's Magazine
is particularly- attractive, whether we regard
the interest and variety of its articles or the
number and beauty of its illustrations. The
third part of "The Roumi in Kabylia" forms
the initial article. This charming record of
travel is embellished with many spirited and
opposite engravings, and has the merit of be
ing devoted to a country whose features and
resources are little known to the public. "Oar
Home in the Tyrol," by Margaret Hewitt, is a
delightful narrative of a summers residence at
Barneck, in the Pusterthal. It is full of cap
tivating realism, diversified by quaint and at
tractive incident, and is appropriately illus
trated. Tho concluding portion of "Wilming
ton and its Industries" is full of interesting
reminiscences of an historical and social char
acter, and furnishes some further information
of special value to the manufacturer and capi
talist. It is embellished with a full propor
tion of engravings. "Salmon Fishing in Can
ada," by S. C. Clarke, describes, in
. a graphic
manner, one of the noblest and most exciting
of modern sports, as it is practiced in a sec
tion peculiarly favorable to its full enjoyment.
An article entitled "Philadelphia Zoological
Gardens" dwells upon the advantages, in re
spect to both pleasure and profit, which
Philadelphians are likely to derive from the
establishment for the exhibition of living ani
mals, birds and fishes, about to be opened in
Fairmonnt Park. A very interesting history
of the foundation and operations of the Lon
don Zoological Gardens is incidentally tarnish
ed. The article is accompanied by a well-ex
ended diagram. "Queen Victoria as Million
are," by Reginald Wynford, discoursed in an
interesting manner concerning the private for
tune of her Britannic Majesty, and discloses
many facts that will be entirely new to a large
number of readers. "Cricket in America," by
Albert A. Outerbridge, will be welcomed as a
timely paper by the many admirers of a game
which, after having become nationalized in
England, and there won the enthusiastic sym
pathies of all classes of the people, promises
to elicit from the active youth and manhood
of this country fresh admiration and fresh de
votion. Fiction is represented iu the present
number of Lippincott's Magazine by the contin
uation of Mr. Black's attractive novel entitled
A princess of Thule" ; by a very pleasing,
story of French life, "Marie Famette and her
Lovers," from the pen of Katherine S. Mac
geoid, author of "Patty" ; and by some further
chapters of Mrs. Rebecca Harding Davis's
serial story, "Berrytown." There are two
poems, "At Odds," by Iloward Glyndou, and
"Overdue," by Mary B. Dodge. Concerning
"Our Monthly Gossip," it is sufficient to say
that it sustains its well earned reputation for
piquancy and variety
We make the following extracts from Be
hind the Scenes in Washington, being a com
plete and graphic account of the Credit Mo
bilier Investigation, The Congressional Rings,
Political Intrigues, Working of the Lobbies,
etc., giving the secret history of our National
Government, in all its various branches, and
showing how the public money is squandered,
how votes are obtained, etc., - with sketches of
t he leading Senators, Congressmen, Govern
ment Officials, etc., and an accurate descrip
tion of the Splendid Public Building of the
Federal Capitol, by Edward Winslow Martin,
author of the "Secrets of the Great City," etc:
"Upon reaching Washington ' the lobbyists
are not slow in getting to work. Much is left
to their own discretion ; but much more is
done in obedience to 'instructions from head
quarters.' The aid desired may be from the
Government, or from Congress, or from both ;
and all sorts of artifices are resorted to to se
cure it. Officials are approached in every im
aginable way, and, if no direct bribe is offer
ed, the intriguer endeavors, generally with
success, to gain the confidence and friendship
of the party against whom his arts are direc
ted. This accomplished, he broaches his
scheme so delicately, and presses it so skil
folly, that the official is won over before he
knows it. If the man fails, the female lob
byist is called in to exert her arts, which are
more potent than those of the sterner sex.
Congressmen and officials are famous as being
the most susceptible men in the world, and
the fair charmer is generally successful. Men
in public life are very obliging when they
choose to be, and these women know how to
win favors from them.
"It is very common for the lobbyists to ap
proach public men through their families.
Mrs. A. or Mrs. B. will receive magnificent
presents front persons who are but little more
than casual acquaintances. Their first im
pulse is to return the articles, but they are so
handsome, and just what they have been want
ing so long, without beinfi able to afford them
out of their husbands' ineomes—for lobbyists
arc careful to inform themselves what will be
most acceptable—and so, after a little strug
gle, they decide to keep the gifts."
Ile Phrenological Journal for May is an ex
eellent number; containing many particularly
interesting features, via: The Portraits and
Life Sketches of twelve' Editors of leading

Letter from Orbisonia.
ORBISONIA, April 19, 1871
EDITOR JOURNAL may be interesting to
some of the readers of the JOURNAL to know
that the Cromwell family i 3 still being re
surrected in. this locality. It is only recently
I came back to this county. Mr. Editor, the
county has changed very much since I left.—
Now you have four papers published in the
county; when I left the only paper published
iu the county was the Huntingdon Gazette,
published by John McCahan. John was uo
preacher, but still he published a very good
paper. This town, Orbisonia, was not thought
of when I left, much less a railroad from Mt.
Union (or Drake's Ferry, as it was called then)
to Broad Top.
. _
This certainly is a fast age. The people of
this place are under the impression that it is
going to snake a large town. I can't see the
point, unless the citizens here can persuade
the Reverend Editor to publish his paper (the
Globe) at this place. This would at once give
the place notoriety, and not only that, but I
think it would improve the morals of our
young men. Some of them swear a little, and
some cf them are pretty good on a fight, and
you know, Mr. Editor, the Globe would sure
them of all such habits. I see, too, that some
of them read the political papers on the `Jab
bath day. Now, as a general thing, this should
not be done, but you know, Mr. Editer, it will
not injure any one to read the Globe on the
Sabbath day.
It so happens, sometimes, Mr. Editor, that
one man is called to preach the Gospel and
another answers, but we cannot charge the
editor of the Globe with this; any one can see
at once that he Ras called to the work. We
admire the christian spirit he has manifested
since the first issue of his excellent paper(?)
If he is smitten on one chpek how readily and
willingly he turns the other ; and if a man
should take bis coat I have no doubt bat he
would give him his cloak also, and perhaps
his boots into the bargain. It is no trouble
or cross f r him to render good for evil, or to
love and pray for his enemies. Oh I I am so
glad that we have such agood editor and such
a good paper published in our county I There
is quite an advantage in having a minister of
the Gospel publish a paper in our county. For
this reason: many cf our citizens are not able
to take a religious ant: secular paper too, so
you see, Mr. Editor, the Globe will answer a
double purpo"se. Such families can read its
advertisements during the week, and the read
ing matter on the Sabbath day, and how could
the Sabbath day be spent more profitably ?
I am so glad we have such a paper published
in our county, just no account of our young
men. "May useful lives-be spared for useful
purposes."
The man here who bad some of hisribs bro
ken from rolling a whisky barrel, is getting
better. The man Pierce, who was the cause
of so much excitement in the papers, some time
ago. as to where he got the tangle foot, suc
cessful amputation, ete., etc., is now dead. I
know our town is blamed with part of this ;
maybe it is guilty, but as I am a newcomer I
don't feel like expressing myself.
Mr. Editor, as my baud's a little unsteady I
will try and get one of the boys to write to
you the next time. Truly Yours,
OLIVER CROMMMIL'S GRANDFATHER.
From Alexandria.
ALEXANDRIA, April 17. 187 a
Ma. EDITOR :—The High School of this place
opened a Summer term a. few weeks ago.
There was such a rush, that a great many
were refused. When I use the term "high
school" I mean high up in the building, with
out regard to grade. The school is made up from
four years to twenty-two. It is a great pity
that Alexandria cannot have a graded school,
and also a teacher therefor. We wereezpect
ing to have the County Normal the coming
Summer, a school that would be a credit to
the town and vicinity. Poor children arc accept
ed as well as rich ones. It. C. I.
